Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney for two decades. He is respected. Admired in the courtroom. Happy at home with the loves of his life: his wife, Laurie, and their teenage son,Â Jacob. Then Andyâ‚¬s quiet suburb is stunned by a shocking crime: a young boy stabbed to death in a leafy park. And an even greater shock: The accused is Andyâ‚¬s own sonâ‚¬"shy, awkward, mysteriousÂ Jacob.

Andy believes inÂ Jacobâ‚¬s innocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doubt. A faltering marriage. The neighborsâ‚¬ contempt. A murder trial that threatens to obliterate Andyâ‚¬s family. It is the ultimate test for any parent: How far would you go to protect your child? It is a test of devotion. A test of how well a parent can know a child. For Andy Barber, a man with an iron will and a dark secret, it is a test of guilt and innocence in the deepest sense.

How far wouldÂ youÂ go?

Praise for Defending Jacob

â‚¬Å“A novel like this comes along maybe once a decade . . . a tour de force, a full-blooded legal thriller about a murder trial and the way it shatters a family. With its relentless suspense, its mesmerizing prose, and a shocking twist at the end, itâ‚¬s every bit as good as Scott Turowâ‚¬s greatÂ Presumed Innocent. But itâ‚¬s also something more: an indelible domestic drama that calls to mindÂ Ordinary PeopleÂ andÂ We Need to Talk About Kevin. A spellbinding and unforgettable literary crime novel.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Joseph Finder
